Both of these dynamics can be classified as "would be dissected in psychosexual ways to hell and back and spawn ungodly fanfics if he wasn't so gay so nah the hatred is just misogyny"

Earlier today, police arrested mass numbers of Jews and people of conscience at the offices of Senators Schumer and Gillibrand in New York City as they chanted, "Let Gaza Live," "End The Siege, and "Let Aid In Now."

Please help save my dog?
I'm losing my home and can't bring him where me and my kids have found shelter. We have friends who can take him, but he needs surgery first. Please help give Leto a safe, pain-free fresh start. Every share and donation means the world!

Last day to vote! BETWEEN EARTH & SKY is up for Best Series but considering the powerhouse competition, Iโ€™m just happy to be there. ๐Ÿ˜Š But there are plenty of other categories and lots of works to love. Iโ€™ve got my ballot filled out! Go vote! โœ…

I was staying at a friend's house and had a dream that Pitbull (the rapper) came out as trans and was beautiful and I woke up just as my friend was going to work but I was still too sleepy to get up so I called her while in the same house to say I dreamed that Pitbull was trans and then hung up

On 2 December 1804, when Napoleon was crowned Emperor, Letizia did not attend the coronation ceremony, though she appears in Jacques-Louis Davidโ€™s famous painting, The Coronation of Napoleon. When congratulated on her son's success, she is said to have replied, ยซ Pourvu que รงa dure ! ยป ("Letโ€™s hope it lasts!").

I am OBSESSED with Napoleon's mom, like imagine skipping out on your son's coronation as self-made emperor because you're mad at his wife and having to be 19th-century photoshopped in and then when asked about him you're like "WELL LET'S HOPE HE LASTS"
